High-Resolution 6.5" 2-Way Car Speakers

Kenwood eXcelon XR-1701 speakers deliver High-Resolution Audio that exceeds CD standards for listeners who want accurate sound reproduction in their vehicle. The 6.5-inch glass fibre woofer with rubber surround combines strength and low mass to handle impactful bass and delicate tones. A 1-3/16-inch titanium hard dome tweeter with neodymium magnet extends vocal clarity into the ultra-high frequency range.

3-Ohm Impedance and Included Mounting Hardware

These speakers present a 3-ohm load, so the amplifier must be stable at that impedance to deliver clean power. The package includes woofer mounting brackets and grilles, simplifying installation in compatible door or rear deck locations. A top-mount depth of 2-3/8 inches determines the clearance required behind the mounting surface. Buyers needing a 4-ohm load or different mounting depth should verify compatibility before purchasing.

100 Watts RMS Continuous Power Handling

The speakers handle up to 100 watts RMS continuously, with 300 watts peak capacity for short musical transients. Sensitivity of 87 dB means moderate amplifier power produces usable volume levels in a cabin. Frequency response spans 64 to 35,000 Hz, covering deep bass through extended treble during sustained playback. Listeners who require higher continuous power handling or higher sensitivity for very large vehicles may need alternative models.

Questions about this item

How much continuous power can the XR-1701 handle before thermal compression limits output?

The speaker is rated for 100 watts RMS continuous power handling, which is the practical thermal limit for sustained playback.

What heat-related behaviour should I expect when driving the XR-1701 at high output for long periods?

With 87 dB sensitivity and a 3-ohm impedance, the voice coil will draw significant current; prolonged high-level use generates heat that can temporarily reduce output until the motor cools.

Which amplifier specifications are required to drive the XR-1701's 3-ohm load cleanly?

You need an amplifier stable at 3 ohms per channel and capable of delivering up to 100 watts RMS into that impedance without current limiting or protection shutdown.
